Education
The need for public understanding of the ocean's role in global environmental sustainability has never been greater. Bigelow scientists are committed to sharing their discoveries with educators, students, and the public through a variety of programs, both at the Laboratory and within the regional community. At the professional research level, Bigelow Laboratory offers a courses each year as part of its Foundations of Marine Science series.
We have a suite of on-line educations resources available for teachers to use in a range of grade levels, in addition to other resources and networks for further information. Public seminars and lectures, including our informal and increasingly popular Café Scientifique talks are listed on our Calendar. Our researchers are occasionally able to provide internships for undergraduate and upper-level high school students. Information about these opportunities is available on individual Senior Research Scientist web pages. The Maureen Keller Undergraduate Scholarship is available to Maine students pursuing Bachelor's Degrees in earth or biological sciences.
